The AHP (1-9 Value Scale) Level Method to Analyze the Development of Logistics under the Perspective of Low-Carbon Environmental Protection: Taking Shandong Province, China, as an Example

Abstract

Reducing the total carbon emissions of the logistics industry is one of the basic requirements for the development of a low-carbon economy. Based on the AHP analytic hierarchy process and the 1-9 value scaling method, an evaluation index system for the low-carbon development of the logistics industry is constructed. At present, the development of low-carbon logistics requires the combination of low-carbon technology and low-carbon management to ensure the integrity and dynamics of low-carbon logistics control. The results of this study show that in the AHP index analysis of the development of logistics industry in Shandong Province, compared with 13 evaluation indexes of low-carbon logistics and traditional logistics, low-carbon logistics is significantly better than traditional logistics. Among them, the implementation of low-carbon logistics policy system has increased the energy utilization rate to 88.72%, the recovery rate of warehousing and logistics waste to 92.11%, and other relevant indicators have also been improved and optimized to varying degrees. Based on the EKC model curve, the total carbon emissions from 2015 to 2019 showed a downward trend month by month. The future development of low-carbon logistics mainly starts with reducing the total carbon emission of logistics transportation and improving energy utilization. Aiming at the main influencing factors of the development of low-carbon logistics, this paper puts forward specific measures for the development of low-carbon logistics, in order to promote the development of low-carbon logistics.
